Dear Wasting Time:

If you become verified you won't have to add 2+2. (Pssstttt...it's 4).

Proud American's picture

The political pundits; the republicans; the complicit democrats; the excessive CEOs; the media that manipulate public opinions HAVE ALL lost their CREDIBILITY.

Let me say it AGAIN. Unless you bring the 'WE the PEOPLE' into the equation and show respect for them and the LAWS that GOVERN all of us; CONFIDENCE will NOT be RESTORED.

BUSH/CHENEY regime does not enhance the market's Confidence. Contrary, it is a CONSTANT REMINDER of his LOST CREDIBILITY.

The Market's demise is a STRONG message that TRUST is not there and WALL STREET will deteriorate until the CROOKS, GREEDY and LIARS are diminished from our SYSTEM.

RECOVERY will begin WHEN accountability, charges; and indictments ARE SAID AND DONE.

We have three weeks to go before election and 2 more months before the NEW President and administration is installed. WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE BY ENFORCING THE LAW and INDICTING the LAW-BREAKERS.

I PROMISE, that is the only wasy to RESTORE the CONFIDENCE of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Not doing so and being in DENIAL will only EXTEND to market deterioration.

We have three weeks to go before election (a potential of 3,000 points loss at the DOW).

Fri, 10/10/2008 - 12:38 — Proud American (not verified):
We have three weeks to go before election (a potential of 3,000 points loss at the DOW)

what we do NOT have is the "over-arching legal framework."

Impeachment's the only tool we have to control the executive,.

It's off the table. It won't come back until and unless Obama somehow gets into the WhiteHouse.

There are no other LEGAL remedies...

Proud American's picture

That is precisely my point. Unless WE THE PEOPLE take responsibilities in pressing our representatives to listen to us (their constituents)rather than allowing them to over-extent their authorities over and beyond what is in our constitution AND unless we EXERCISE our CIVIC duties to control our public servants; WE ARE JUST AS GUILTY and RESPONSIBLE FOR our current demise.

The FAILURES of our POLICY makers and the current CRISIS in our ECONOMY is an INCREASING EVIDENCE that WE HAVE LOST CONTROL OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

IF WE THE PEOPLE WANT TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE in our SYSTEMS; financial or otherwise; WE HAVE TO PARTICIPATE and ACT NOW.

THE EFFECTS in the Main Streets are the inevitable effects of WALL STREET and the FAILED REGULATORS and our GOVERNMENT.

Many SCHOLARS and EXPERTS has been WARNING for years now and NO ONE IS LISTENING. Today WE HAVE BEEN consumed with this CRISIS worrying to save their investments and money that NO one is paying attention to the ROOT of the PROBLEMS.

CONFIDENCE will not be RESTORED until the LAWS that PROTECT us ALL are RESTORED and put back into PLACE.

Proud American's picture

Such an "over-arching" response is not inappropriate for the UNPRECEDENTED situation we are faced with as a nation under the WATCH of a lawless government who seem to profit and benefit by exploiting the public through FEARS and threats.

The most serious national security is the sitting lame president in the WHITE HOUSE. Nothing he will say no and until he is out of office WILL influence MARKET CONFIDENCE.

When the President lose the TRUST of the AMERICAN PEOPLE and the WORLD; and the CREDIBILITY necessary to influence the public it serves, any actions thereafter will be held in scrutiny and the more he speak the more WE THE PEOPLE will lose our CONFIDENCE. AT this point in time; that has been damaged. This is a lesson for those at the TOP that has no idea of, or is OUT-OF-TOUCH of the working people.

The MEDIA executives who censor genuine reporting and journalism; and who violate the free of information act, IS NO LESS GUILTY. THE MEDIA has reduced itself and the realities to an illusion made up of Hollywood Fictional fabricated stories; which has been distorted by the high-paying clients who has an agenda to manipulate you through paid COMMERCIALS and PAID-FOR ADVERTISEMENT to manipulate public opinions.

The fundamental of TRUTH and FACTS has been diverted to special interest and this fundament principles of TRUTH has been abandoned. That is a FACT.

The political duopoly is contrary to our democracy AND excluded many highly respected and more CREDIBLE leaders. ANY CANDIDATES who continue to EXCLUDE AND TURN A BLIND-EYE TO THOSE THAT BROKE AWAY FROM THEIR DUTIES TO PROTECT AND DEFEND OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION IS NOT BRINGING CONFIDENCE TO OUR PEOPLE THAT THE 'NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW'. SUCH lack of action and the courage to lead in this manner IS NOT WORTHY of becoming the next PRESIDENT of USA.

Such divertion from the core of our nations' priciple has proven DETRIMENTAL to our nation. WE MUST RETURN to these principles that made our NATION STRONG for over a CENTURY.

Clearly the current situation is EVIDENT when we allow such a divertion to continue.

AMERICA must exercise their collective power to control their government and their out-of-control CEO. This affects us all. Our livelihood is at stake. It would be naive for anyone to ignore the fact. For those who "ECHO" and resist the "BLAME GAME" are merely resisting their OWN GUILT to the CRISIS today. These ARE THE VERY people that fell asleep on the JOB.

IN TIME, we will find the the ROOT of this problem and hopefully will become a part of our TEXTBOOKS. This is a 10 trillion dollar EDUCATION.

for Barack Obama, that is.

The more this idiot shows his ass and becomes a terrorist himself, the more the people turn to Obama - the more Obama looks like a class act.

I wouldn't want skinheads and white supremacists shouting out threats at anything my name would be associated with.

Maybe the Dems are even smarter than we knew - maybe they've allowed it to go on simply to allow John McCain to really show his ass and just how criminal the man is?

Maybe so......

I'm beginning to think the the real fool in all of this is John McCain and his airhead Sidekick who haven't yet figured out that they'be been "baited and had".

anonymous's picture

Not only are his numbers plummeting even further down the tubes but now he's lost any respect which his POW status ever gave him. He's become a true american scumbag now.

Imagine world leaders ever looking up to this man with respect?

After seeing his terror inciting, they know this man can't be trusted and has no ethics or integrity.

Somehow McCain is making even Chimpy look dignified! Did I really say that??

anonymous's picture

He can't even control his own crowds - how can he even attempt to convince the american people that he can handle "controlling this country"?? He's just lost that argument by his actions.

How can he convince the rest of the world to have any faith and confidence in a man who, so obviously, couldn't control a room full of people - no less a stadium full.

He's proving this to the american people every day - that a country led by McCain would be total chaos...just like his rallies.

I don't know about you but I really don't feel "safe" with the notion of this man running the country.

anonymous's picture

Remind you of anyone? Chimpy sitting reading My Pet Goat while people died? The analogy is frightening and so similar.

McCain stands there like a senile bumbling douchebag while chaos and death threats erupt.

He's given the term IMPOTENT a whole new meaning.

anonymous's picture

Actually, all Obama has to do is run his beautiful, upbeat campaign while McDouchebag shoots himself in the foot, over and over, and over again.

So let's see....Monday - abetting violence in Florida; Tuesday - abetting violence in Penna - Wednesday - abetting violence in Minn - Thursday and Friday - more of the same.

So the week, obviously, goes to Obama. McCain's turning into a total loser in all respects by his own doing.

Now we can't trust this man to keep us safe - he can't control his own rallies - he surely can't control this country at dire times like these.

anonymous's picture

When a man is so impotent that he can't control his own rabid base and get them settled down and acting like decent human beings; then we know that he could never even dream of keeping this country under control.

McCain realizes that he's now lost everyone's respect so he's out there pretending that he wasn't inciting the crowds we witnessed him doing....pretending that somehow he deserves our respect....pretending that somehow it was his "campaign's fault" for the criminal behavior at his rallies....

I call it "campaign sponsored terrorism", that's what I call it. He can try to convince us till he's blue in the face that it wasn't him doing it but we've witnessed it ourselves - at every rally of HIS this week.

If John McCain is now attempting to spin the fact that it wasn't him doing it, then I guess he's not CEO of his own campaign, right?

This man is reckless and dangerous to the future stability of this country and he's manifested it for us every day this week.

As a CEO, he can't handle a group full of people - he surely couldn't control the chaos at his own rallies and he most assuredly couldn't ever dream of tackling keeping all of us safe.

His campaign is over. We can now pronounce it officially DOA.

anonymous's picture

It's official. McCain and Palin have become the enemy of the american people.

The Hall of Shame.

The first thing President Obama will need to see to, upon taking the oath, is reforming the FCC. These propaganda outlets have violated every term of of their franchises to use OUR airwaves and OUR bandwidth. They have an explicit legal obligation to serve the public trust by impartially informing the public of news and events, so that the public can then process the information and come to accurate,informed judgements about things that affect our Nation. They have betrayed that trust with malignant malice aforethought. They should be stripped of their privileges to use OUR airwaves and bandwidth. Additionaly, their assets should stand forfeit, as a punitive measure against their methodically premeditated malfeasance.

Arthurstone, if I give up my TV, how will I know what food is this weeks cancer preventer, newly discovered horrors of smoking pot, what kind of new predator is looking to, abuse,screw,kidnap,and /or bully my kids. How will I know when those "commie reds" are at it again, or what new drug the pushers(not big pharma) are giving away free to "get our kids hooked", or how to save money on back to school crap. I feel like Iam in a big country wide production of "reefer maddness". Take a toke,roll your eyes as your thoughts turn from god and country to thoughts of rape and pillage, unfucking believable. I back Arthurstone 100%, if you watch tv,you are supporting these criminal ass biters, who you would not even speak to if they ask you the time, because creep is and always has been stamped on their forhead for all to see, hence their hate of their fellow humans. For a while I kept watching PBS but our public station is now also BS. We need news casters who do not belong to the CFR. Once more we have taken a good tool and beat it into a sword to throw ourselves onto.-CEO
